28. Mr. EDE

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many county agricultural committees have submitted reduced programmes of work to him; how many such reduced programmes he has approved; and what the total saving to date has been?

No such programmes have been submitted to me.

Mr. EDE

Are we to understand that the Government have abandoned this particular form of economy?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir.
